With my new Vista system, I can no longer read my hotmail email via Windows
Mail as I did with Outlook Express on my old system. When I now read my
hotmail via the web at hotmail.com, it indicates I am using the classic
version of Windows Live Hotmail. The site indicates that if I have a fast
internet connection, I should try the full version of Windows Live Hotmail.
I only have dialup service, so I have not tried it.

1. Is Windows Live Mail a completely different product than the full
version of Windows Live Hotmail? Or is the Hotmail version just a subset
for to provide webmail?

2. Should I even attempt running Windows Live Mail with a dialup
connection?
Thanks for any clarification and I hope my questions are not too confusing.

Windows Live Hotmail runs on browser and checks for e-mail (Hotmail
account), along with a calendar. It has two versions, which may be chosen
according to one's internet speed.
Windows Live Mail is a program (independent from browser), which can
download mail from any server that provides this functionality (Hotmail,
Gmail, Yahoo!Mail Plus, and several ISP mailboxes), as well as it manages
RSS feeds and newsgroups.

Hope I've been clear.

Windows Live Mail is a stand alone, desktop email client. Similar to any
other such client (MS Outlook, MS Outlook Express, Pegasus Mail, etc.)

Windows Live Hotmail is a web mail application. It runs on a remote server,
and it is accessed through a web browser.

The two are as alike as a loaf of bread is like a rock.

You have Windows Vista, and it comes with Windows Mail. What sets Windows
Mail apart from Windows Live Mail is the lack of access to Windows Live
Hotmail. With Windows Live Mail, you would be downloading your email from
the Windows Live Hotmail account in the same manner as MS Outlook Express
would.

The questions were nowhere near as confusing as some of the answers. E.g.,
Windows Live Hotmail does not "run on a browser", it runs on a server which
is accessed by a browser. Or a mail client with web mail capability, such as
MS Outlook Express, or Windows Live Mail.

What? While both Windows Live Mail and Windows Mail are based on the
earlier Mail Client named Outlook Express, neither are versions of Outlook
Express. Both have an entirely new file system.

And, Windows Live Hotmail is web-based while Windows Live Mail is a
stand-along e-mail client.
